... What's got Xanatos so spooked? Toofy? Demona? Something has him spooked enough to poke the masquerade.
And like I guessed Brooklyn is either dead or gone as well...
stat least we can bring our gargoyle dog around in public now?

Braille Translator The first two are, indeed, "My Old" but that last word does not seem to be "friend"...unless it's a grade two translation, which it appears to be.
Interesting. Technically, like any language translation, it can only be properly done by a human, but it's consistent so far.
The blind man is probably Jeffrey Robbins, whose claim to fame in Gargoyles-land is not being affected by Demona's magic because he can't see it.

he rolled a 193... damn Demona really has him spooked. We should reach out and collaborate/meet up and talk about the Masquerade next turn. Xanay must be desperate and we can work our way in with that.
I think MiH just gave us the translation straight up.

We dont fully know, but from context, its probably a pre emptive measure against "hostile gargoyles (specifically Demona)" who not only plan to fight against humanity openly, but bring down the Masquerade fully
So Xanatos may be playing both sides here.
If the Masquerade is to survive Demona's reveal, normalizing Gargoyles is the best thing to do so, since it would enable fighting Demona openly and with conventional means.
But if the Masquerade does fall down, then Xanatos revealing Gargoyles not only protects him from "but why didn't you tell us!" accusations, but also shows that he's may already have had intentional or unintentional dealings with this side of the masquerade. This makes his transition to a world with a broken masquerade just that much smoother for the non-magical side to accept how "fast" Xanatos seems to be adapting, but also to the magical side seeing Xanatos in a much better light PR wise. Obviously they already saw Xanatos in the magical auction, but now they know going to Xanatos can protect them from non-magical threats.

Dang, looks like Xanatos got Rotwood before us, and he seems pretty happy with his current employment situation. There's a slight hope that once Rotwood finds out Magic actually is real and Xanatos lied to him about it he'll take negative loyalty and defect, but I'm not holding my breath. Xany is too competent for someone like Rotwood to want to defect.
Plus, Xanatos having Rotwood probably means he scooped up the Glooms as well. I hope it's not the case, but I can't see him ignoring spellcasters with great gear and actual intel on other dimensions over a formerly-disgraced crypto-zoologist.
Xanatos showing up with someone from our rolodex makes me want to take our Rolodex recruiting action next turn. It's a bit of a waste, only one Hero unit instead of multiple, but we've got some pretty good units lined up in our list that I'd hate to miss the window of opportunity on. I was originally gunning for Recruit Heroes+Villains next turn, but now I think I'll go Rolodex+Villains.
I really think this is a bit of a stretch.
Also, there's nothing that indicates he's hired Rotwood full time. It could just be like what Launchpad was supposed to be - just speak at this one time.

Time to send in some... Wait, is that the right word?

After going through a spy terminology glossary, I believe 'plant' is the proper term for a person to be snuck into the group.
'Moles' are fresh meat to espionage and the title of 'Double Agent' implies the clan warrants that level of respect.

Well, that could've been worse. At least the temptation to recruit Rotwood is gone (seriously, that guy is a crackpot, have fun with that, Xaney). Still, though, if the Huntsclan starts making more public moves, I support immediate denouncement and antagonization from us. Because honestly? Screw those guys. They're basically stereotypical xenophobic assholes that the world is better off without

I'd very much like that to be true. I still want to try and recruit Rotwood + The Glooms, because they're fun, but I'm not excited about our chances.
I'm just not sure if Xanatos would accept the risk of someone not on his payroll being called in to speak about something he very much wants to succeed. On the one hand, he hates risks, but on the other hand, this was a desperate hail-mary move. And if Xanatos did manage to nab Rotwood, that would mean that even recent units in our Rolodex can be scooped up by other people, and given Xanatos made an overture to the Glooms already by giving them the Jay Leno Crystal Ball, there might be decent odds of him having picked them up as well. He's going whole hog against Demona, after all, and what would be more useful than a crystal ball that could possibly scry her location and/or plans, along with spell-casters who can look past the crystal ball's personality to actually use it.
I dunno. This is all just conjecture, I admit, and it's also possible that they're both still available. It's just a toss-up of being able to recruit them rather than a sure thing, which has me a bit rattled, especially concerning the chances of recruiting some of the other people from our Rolodex.

Hopefully now you guys will be willing to hire Rotwood, assuming Xanatos hasn't hired him.

It's been literally one turn since we've met the Glooms.
Sure, it isn't implausible that Xanatos has some ability that lets him recruit from rolodex multiple times in a single turn... it's doubtful though.
Because people want the Glooms, we should get them next turn rather than Juniper, as Juniper doesn't draw the same level of demand, thus she can wait well after the Magical Masquerade breaks.

Do people still want the Glooms? I was under the impression that they were becoming less popular now that we've recruited Malefishmertz.
Mind you, I'd still be fine with them regardless. They seem fun and I think they'd be a great personality pick for DEI.

I've been supporting glooms. Definitely want to hire them soon. Especially since we offered them a job and they didn't have any money since they spent all theirs on a broom.
Technically gargs aren't natively supernatural. However a Roman empire got upset about the clothing issue, and had the species enchanted to bring their gear with them into the stone sleep.
Also we should warn the Xanadu clan.

We can cycle between Malf, the Glooms, and Janna for Occult actions, training, and Quests if we get the Glooms, giving us some breathing room.
Juniper is a good hero unit, but not in that way, she seems to be some sort of weird hero ball combo Hero unit.
Edit: For reference, keep in mind that we still haven't gotten Monogram to reorganize OWCA, and we have Tobe, Russ, and Kitsune as intrigue hero units.

I don't need to be convinced here. I was asking a question on what people's feelings still were by commenting on what I had seen in the last week, not what my stance was.

Xanatos is going to have Rotwood monitored and managed to keep away from real magic (How do the clothes turn the stone?) and to see who gets interested in him after his recent bout of publicity. If we try to hire him we'll need to assure Xanatos that we don't intend to break the masquerade and won't let Rotwood do it either.
